Collecting Draculas
 

I built a cool greenhouse over a year ago, dual temperature control swamp cooler, RO water, MSU fertilizer, humidifier, a wetting agent and daily watering seem to work well with the cloud forest plants. At this point my main focus of collecting is Draculas, I have about 60 of them. The sources I'm familiar with include Hawk Hill, Andy, Marnie Turkel, Ecuagenera and J&L. By the end of the year I hope to have about 100 species which includes the ones that are commonly available. After that it becomes a real treasure hunt. There are a number of hybrids available which are of secondary interest.

I would like to meet others with an interest in that genera and hear about other vendors who would be a good source. As soon as I get a good sized plant, I immediately make a small division so have many to trade. If anyone is interested in trading please email me directly at orchidnick@yahoo.com.
